Wonder if they're just not going to have Undertaker appear on Raw before Wrestlemania at all at this rate.

I think that would potentially be a good idea. Although I expect him next week.

WWE don’t rely on ppv buys anymore, although wrestlemania does still do some ppv buys however I really can’t imagine anyone buying or attending mania based purely on taker v Cena. Leaving it open as to whether or not he will appear adds something special in my eyes. Makes it different.

Seems that Shane is legitimately ill with diverticulitis :dread:

Wonder who they are going to get to partner with Bryan now...

Surely they will parachute Y2J in. Seems to be an easy fix as he already has the backstory.

That graphic they used on RAW for The Bar vs. Braun Showman and a mystery man sure looked like Batista to me, as unlikely as it would be.

That ladder match is going to be so good.

14 strawberry floating matches for Wrestlemania :|

It’s that time of the year when we watch 15 hours of WWE in 4 days. :datass:

Still no Undertaker :lol:

Didn't they do something similar to this at Wrestlemania 20 with his match with Kane? He had been out since losing a buried alive match as biker Taker at Survivor Series and didn't appear again till Mania back in his deadman gimmick.

Once again NXT smashes it out of the park.



Best belt design in years.

That Impact vs Lucha Underground show on Twitch is scheduled for like 5am :x Guess I'll have to watch it later, no way would I be able to stay up for TakeOver if I got up at 5am.

The TakeOver card is so much better than 'Mania. I wish that Lars guy wasn't in the Ladder Match for the NA Championship though. Ricochet & EC3 :wub:.

Edit: The e-mail from Twitch lists 9pm PDT, the e-mail from Impact lists 10pm ET, both of these work out at different times :lol: , 5am and 3am respectively... Confounding.

That title looks ace. Trips on the other hand looks rough as hell.

I'm surprised how well they've managed to build up Nakamura and Styles. It feels so much more restrained than the typical feud build up. It feels very much about the wrestling.

I'm still pissed Carmella has that briefcase. If she ends Asuka's streak I'll be so pissed. All that building up, the streak, abdicating the title, Sole Survivor, Royal Rumble winner...

I'm looking forward to the post 'Mania Raw and SmackDown's too, the rosters needs a shake up. Praying Balor, Gallows and Anderson head to SD. Being wasted on Raw.

Maybe they will have her cash in and lose at or just before the next MITB ppv but then win the briefcase again this year.

I forgot about the MITB briefcase. I can totally see WWE having Carmella cash in and beat Asuka, it's the sort of thing they just love to book.

Asuka should really hold the belt for a while. See if they can get Ronda up to speed in ring and go on a streak herself. She should be booked like Brock or Goldberg with short matches won by power and violence if they have any hope. Then if Ronda does come good in ring they can build to a fued with Asuka.

If not, someone else will probably come through that's worth breaking the streak for.

How the strawberry float has Shane recovered from diverticulitis so quickly!?

Shane > Brock
